Normally, until 6 January - it's a holiday (Epiphany) so there's time, also traditionally the tree should stay decorated until that holiday.
However, I'm the only one capable of doing this at home, and ever since I left home, the de-decoration depends on when I leave. So this year it will either have to be done on 1 January or wait until February or Easter (depending on when I come again). My personal record was April. This comes from having an artificial tree.
I have friends who kept postponing to for so long that in the end they kept the tree all year long until next Xmas. :-)
P.S. Just read the other posts - and there I thought how stressful it would be this year, since I never do it on 1 January - and now I see some people do it deliberately on that day. Wow. My programme of choice on that day would be sleep long and do nothing.
